CBI to start fresh probe in sex racket case

Acting on the directions of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court, a CBI team will arrive in Srinagar on Thursday to probe against individuals named in the sex racket case.

An eight-member team of the agency headed by SSP R S Dhankar will be assisted by a group of state police officials in the investigations.

Expressing surprise over the way CBI conducted the probe with regard to certain persons named by the victims, the High Court on Monday said the agency should investigate the two cases registered at police station Magam (2005) in Budgam district and Maharaj Gunj (2004) in Jammu.

The CBI team will investigate both the FIRs during their visit to the city.
